Packaged Facts expects continued thirst for sports drinks

Packaged Facts predicts that the sports-drink market will grow about 6% annually through 2017, to $9.3 billion, down from 2012 growth of 6.5%. While males younger than 25 will decrease during the next 10 years, opportunities remain strong among fitness walkers and people who take yoga classes and participate in outdoor activities, Packaged Facts says.
